7. Siberian

This Russian import has a moderately long coat but many of the breed have less-than-average levels of Fel d1 glycoproteins in their saliva. Many breeders have their cats screened for the eynzyme to detect allergen levels. Photo Courtesy of Frank Fukuchi.

6. Oriental Shorthair

The Oriental Shorthair has large ears and a short coat that sheds minimally. With over 300 coat colors, there sure to be one that fits your aesthetics as well as your health needs. Photo courtesy of Nickolas Titkov.

5. Sphynx

Some people report having good results in not being allergic to these hairless cats as the Fel d1 often sticks to their oily skin. Others are more allergic to this breed than cats with hair. Photo courtesy of The Pug Father.

4. Russian Blue

The Russian Blue reportedly carries less of the Fel d1 glycoprotein than other breeds. Levels vary between individuals. Photo courtesy of Sensual Shadows Photography.

3. Bengal

Some people report good results with Bengal kitties possibly due to their mink-like coat texture that requires very little grooming. Because these cats have to groom themselves less, the saliva allergens are less likely to be found on the fur. Photo by Francis Loung.

2. Javanese

The Javanese is missing its undercoat which may translate into less allergens. Photo courtesy of Wikimedia commons.

1. Balinese

The Balinese is similar to the Javanese in the fact that it has a single coat that doesn't mat, but this cat also carries lower levels of the Fel d1 glycoprotein. Balinese photo by aranie.
